Clap everybody and say hello
Clap everybody and say hello
Clap everybody and say hello
No matter what the weather
Wave everybody and say hello . . .

Fingerplay: Open Them, Shut Them
Open them, shut them
Open them, shut them
Give a little clap
Open them, shut them
Open them, shut them
Put them in your lap
Creep them, creep them
Up to your chin
Open your mouth
But do not let them in!
Open them, shut them
Open them, shut them
Put them in your lap

Song: If You’re a Reader
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands

Song: Put Your Scarves in the Air
Put your scarves in the air, in the air
Put your scarves in the air, in the air
Put your scarves in the air, now set them on your hair
Put your scarves in the air, in the air

Put your scarves on your knees . . . be sure not to sneeze
Put your scarves on your tummy . . . now rub it, nice and yummy
Put your scarves on the floor . . .now pick them up once more
